THE TRANSCENDENTALIST*
I do not trade
I'm no merchandiser
life to me is no market-place
commodities I don't treasure-
to the fields and hills I belong
like a lover I court Nature
in her embrace and nakedness
every rapture and joy I capture.
* after Henry David Thoreau whose WALDEN I read over 40 years ago and still read with undying fervour
